I love to cook and entertain.

My culinary wardrobe is the same as my biking wardrobe, just no shoes.

For my kids, I cook everything. We have dinner every night, pretty much, just the four of us: my husband and me and our two kids.

My mother always taught me to wear clothes for myself and not to follow trends as trends will end!

I really don't like take-out.

Do the dishes while you're cooking.

The most overrated ingredients are garlic and extra-virgin olive oil. With garlic, it's personal; I have never been that big of a fan of its flavor. As for extra-virgin olive oil, I do use it quite often but its ubiquity serves to overshadow many wonderful oils like pistachio, walnut, argan and even grapeseed.
